Hints for Successfully 
Growing Perennials 
Clay soil should be made lighter with 
manure and sand. It pays to mix in 
thoroughly well-rotted manure or 
bonemeal in good soil that has been 
deeply dug. 
Set plants a little deeper than thay 
stood in the nursery and spread out 
the roots. Plants moved in full growth 
should always be cut back. 
Cultivate during the growing season 
to preserve moisture, to aerate the 
soil, and to keep down weeds. 
In dry spells, water thoroughly at 
intervals rather than frequent sprink¬ 
lings. i
